1 Overview of the First Regional Dengue Symposium Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 3-4 November 2015 Ana F. Carvalho, MBA, MPH Director, Special Projects Vaccine Advocacy and Education Presented by: Jacqueline Lim International Vaccine Institute - DVI
2 First Regional Dengue Symposium On 3-4 November 2015, the First Regional Dengue Symposium was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 120 scientists, physicians and policy makers from 16 countries participated. Participants represented the healthcare sector, private sector, vaccine producers, insecticide industries, and included epidemiologists and communication experts.
3 Background A vaccine against dengue is widely anticipated to be a crucial control measure. However, questions remain about how a vaccine will contribute to an overall prevention & control strategy. Trade-offs between approaches must be carefully weighed, as tipping the scales too much in one direction could lead to disease resurgence.
4 Background Decisions about vaccine introduction as well as vector control approaches will rely on scientific evidence. Prevention and control of dengue will also rest on: Raising awareness Communicating evidence Gaining and maintaining public confidence Generating political will and partnerships
5 Presentations Thirty presentations covered a host of issues, including: Dengue disease burden & economic costs Health communications Vector control strategies Prospective vaccines & vaccine introduction Integrated vaccine & vector control strategies
6 Presentation Highlights
7 Dengue in Latin America & the Caribbean In the Americas, the number of reported cases of dengue rose from 1.54 million between 1980 and 1989, to 8.98 million between 2010 and Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela have the highest number of cases reported, with all other countries combined representing 20-30% of the regional burden. In the past 5-10 years, dengue has spread to a number of countries, including Paraguay, Peru, and Argentina, which had an outbreak of 38,000 cases in one year.
8 Economic Burden of Dengue The aggregate cost of dengue, including prevention, was US$1,233 billion in Brazil and US$413 million in Mexico in Another study in Brazil estimated that direct and indirect costs combined rose from US$370.8 million in 2009 to US$1,227 billion in 2013.
9 Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention & Control Between , PAHO passed a series of resolutions to guide the fight against dengue. This led to the Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention and Control (EGI-Dengue). 32 countries in the region have adopted the strategy, and an international technical task force assists with its technical implementation.
10 Strengthening Laboratory Diagnostics Symposium participants heard how RELDA, the Dengue Laboratory Network of the Americas, has grown since its official launch in Today, RELDA includes 30 countries.
11 Epidemiological Surveillance Improvements in surveillance have enabled more countries to systematically collect and disseminate data on dengue. Epidemiological newsletters are now published in 20 countries, and mechanisms are in place to issue alerts. Improved reporting will provide crucial data for understanding both the burden of disease and for guiding vaccine introduction and monitoring.
12 Epidemiological Surveillance Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Brazil & Argentina are participating in a pilot surveillance project that will focus on: Standardized use of dengue case definitions, in conformity with WHO s 2009 classifications; Use of both national and sentinel surveillance; and Reporting of environmental and insect indicators, as well as disease and pathogen indicators.
13 Integrated Vector Management Presentations on vector biology and behavior; challenges to Integrated Vector Management; and developments in vector control tools were shared. Perspectives on the relationship between vaccination and vector control in preventing dengue and other viral diseases spread by Aedes aegypti were highlighted. Innovative vector control approaches were presented. (Wolbachia; transgenic mosquitoes; new pesticide development; and advances in the use of spraying equipment).
14 Participants also heard about: Status of six dengue vaccine candidates. Including: safety, efficacy, potential time of availability, projected dose schedules, and age of vaccination. Patient care to lower mortality. Role of communications in diverse circumstances. The communications challenges that would accompany introduction of dengue vaccine.
15 Participants also heard about: Issues of modeling vaccine impact prior to introduction and assessing actual impact after introduction. The process for WHO recommendations and the practical considerations for dengue vaccine introductions.
16 Dengue Vaccine Introduction We have entered the start of a transition period where evidence becomes even more important as vaccines become available. Countries will be challenged with setting priorities, and deciding whether to introduce an available vaccine, or to wait for other candidates.
17 Conclusion The progress and challenges in dengue prevention and control were reviewed from nearly every angle. Deliberations increased anticipation for vaccines now in development and one recently licensed. It also highlighted areas in need of ongoing attention. Chief among these are the need to balance vaccination and vector control, and communication challenges that will be associated with vaccine introduction.
